Winnie Johnson

Ian Brady is a remorceless psychopath with little or no remorse, whether he knows where keith’s body is we may never know, the landscape on the moors is ever changing and alot of years have passed by since the murders, did he genuinely try to find Keith the day police took him out to try to find the body, if i had buried a person i think where the buriel site was would be pretty much imprinted on my brain but like i said the landscape there is pretty much ever changing. Has Brady ever expressed remorse if he has i cant think of any evidence of it. He seems to have little empathy, he dosnt seem to have shown much empathy for Winnie over the years, or he would have let her bury her son a long time ago. Brady just seemed to have desperate need for control.

RIP Winnie

just watched a program on this, apparently, no he has never shown any remorse, and just continues to play his control mind games.
i actually feel sorry for his mental health person, she is stuck between a rock and a hard place. she said in interview she doesn’t know whats in the letter, and there is a good chance nothing is, he just was seeing what she’d do with it, she apparently gave it back to him, and it was channel 4 following the docu that alerted the police of the letter.
i could understand if she broke a confidence or oath if it was a recent loss, but to do it now apart from being wrong professionally, she would lose any trust brady had, and we’d be no further forward i suppose, must be a really hard position she’s in, and im sure without thinking some will vilify her for what she did, but i wouldn’t have wanted to be in her shoes i tell ya.

@ cosy and poli…

easy to think up nice little fates for Brady.

But the fact is that he’s ill. He’s a 100%, been-there-done that-got the tshirt psychopath. Clinically insane. Or so they say. (Myra Hindley is the more interesting character – she wasn’t insane, though I’m not a close student of the case so couldn’t say for sure. What is that attracts women to criminal/evil characters)

We don’t kill people because they’re ill, even when they do horrific acts.

Also Winnie Johnson herself has stressed she wants him to live and rot, sorry live until the end of his natural days, in the hospital; and not go to to the prison in Scotland where he wd be allowed to die from his hunger-strike.

So, Mr Brady, sir, I’m afraid that force-feeding will have to continue until the hunger-strike is called off.

I’ve visited somebody very dear to me in a secured mental hospital, and they are not fun places. The hospitals for the criminally insane are probably even less fun.

Poli, I understand your points, but in my mind there is a trust which sometimes has to be broken. It can be done carefully, but a letter to Winnie Johnson should have been quietly opened and, if relevant, shown to the police. Brady’s trust in the health care worker comes second to Winnie Johnson’s desire to see her son decently buried. The health worker cd have claimed that force was used, and a new trustee of Brady could have been appointed.

I’m sure Cosy wd be happy to take the job.

Thankfully her family have vowed to keep on the fight to find Kieth.

Good as I was wondering would this be the end of the search, so glad someone is going to keep up the fight for Winnie.

What surprises me is, why havent the police used Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) which can detect underground anomalies aswell as human bones.

They could find Keith then rub it in to that monster Brady that he’s going to die alone as they have now found Keith without his help, therefore no more visits or intrest in him.
That should kill that psychopath from inside.

I find the whole Jackie Powell thing very worrying…. she is a self appointed mental health advocate with no previous experience of mental illness. She isn’t employed by anyone and does the work for no payment….. as far as the prison is concerned she is a visitor and they do not recognise her as a mental health professional.

Seems to me he is controlling this woman possibly just as he did Hindley… it all seems very sinister, I wonder if the letter ever actually existed at all.
